Eddie Trunk, radio personality and host of VH1 Classic's hit television program That Metal Show, has posted the following message:

"Been getting many questions about my old friend ACE FREHLEY (ex-KISS) lately. As usual there seems to be a great deal of misinformation out there. So here are some facts:

I am not working with Ace as a producer or in any capacity on a new album. I did suggest a studio and possible producer to him WHEN he wants to do a new album to check out, and I know he did. He had interest from a label for a new album but no idea where he stands with that. Nothing imminent as far as I know. I have always helped Ace when he has asked, simple as that.

I did NOT tell Ace he shouldn’t reunite with old FREHLEY'S COMET band members. As a matter of fact I never discussed this with him at all. Reunions of any kind happen generally for one reason, because they will mean more people and mean more money. If a promoter truly feels a reunion with former members of the band will move the needle and there is enough demand maybe it will happen. But I have not discussed this with Ace at all!

Ace is NOT homeless. The house in the news lately he does not live in. He has lived in Southern California for a couple years now. Not NY.

All I know is that there was some talk of maybe some live shows soon and maybe an album at some point. When I know anything more I will let you know."

Earlier this month, The Journal News' Ernie Garcia reported that Frehley has paid overdue property taxes on his Yorktown home but continues to fight a foreclosure action.

The guitarist faces a June 11th foreclosure conference at Westchester County Court in White Plains regarding his home at 1347 Spring Valley Road. If he or his attorney can’t attend, the court must be informed a week beforehand, according to the May 8th notice.

In February, U.S. Bank National Association claimed in a foreclosure filing that the rock star, whose real name is Paul Frehley, stopped paying his $735,000 mortgage on March 1st, 2011. US Bank National Association is a trustee that manages the asset-backed securities tied to Frehley’s home mortgage.

Frehley’s White Plains attorney, Daniel Seymour, declined to discuss his client’s case Thursday but said that he’s in an active discussion with the bank.

“Paul is doing well,” said Seymour, adding a message for Frehley’s fans: “Keep the faith and there are more good things to come.”
